The midwest, particularly the part of the midwest Eric D. Johnson hails from, is a largely flat expanse. Zipping through it on the highway, you’ll see cities and towns rise up in the distance, but blink and you’ll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape, hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for great sledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost. The Landfill is something else entirely: a mountain dominating the landscape of Johnson’s heart.

Jörg Demus is considered one of the most sensitive and poetic interpreters of Robert Schumann's piano works. His approach was far more than mere technical skill; it was a profound immersion into the composer's emotional landscape.

More than seventy years after they were recorded, Peggy Lee’s celebrated 1955 World Broadcast recordings return as Too Marvelous for Words, a newly restored, digital-only 49-track collection from Peggy Lee Associates.

In the mid 1960s, Chess Records released a series of The Real Folk Blues albums that compiled singles from the careers of some of its greatest artists. Howlin’ Wolf’s The Real Folk Blues combined singles recorded between 1956 and 1965 and is considered one of the best compilations of the Chess series. The music on this record paints a daring portrait of Howlin’ Wolf, presenting exceptional music that had not been presented in album format before. Classics on this record include "Killing Floor," "Tail Dragger," and "Built for Comfort.”

Chess Records’ The Real Folk Blues series was crafted to appeal to the growing “folk music craze” of the 1960s. Muddy Waters’ The Real Folk Blues was the very first release of this series and featured some of his earliest recordings, including his first recording for Artistocrat (the predecessor to Chess). The early material on this record captures the sound of early blues before it entered its electric era. Songs like "Mannish Boy,” "Walking Blues," and "Walking In The Park" remind listeners of Muddy Waters’ impact on the sound of America.

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Beach Boy's legendary masterpiece, this limited edition custom zoetrope vinyl also includes a textured front cover treatment.

This live recording of a concert given in Tokyo in November 2024 kicks off with a spikily rhythmic account of Suite No. 1 from Roussel’s ballet Bacchus et Ariane. Conductor Kazuki Yamada achieves a punchy sound with finely detailed string and woodwind playing alongside impactful outbursts of percussion.

Title aside, what the Cranberries were doing wasn't that common at the time, at least in mainstream pop terms; grunge and G-funk had done their respective big splashes via Nirvana and Dr. Dre when Everybody came out first in the U.K. and then in America some months later. Lead guitarist Noel Hogan is in many ways the true center of the band at this point, co-writing all but three songs with O'Riordan and showing an amazing economy in his playing, and having longtime Smiths/Morrissey producer Stephen Street behind the boards meant that the right blend of projection and delicacy still held sway. One can tell he likes Johnny Marr and his ability to do the job just right: check out the quick strums and blasts on "Pretty" or the concluding part of the lovely "Waltzing Back."

Following the back-to-back releases of Everything Must Go and Chain Yer Dragon in 2025, Goose return with Big Modern!, a vibrant next chapter that expands the band’s signature indie rock sound with neon-lit inspired synths, driving rhythms, and soaring anthemic hooks. New tracks like “Good2B” and “Good Times // End Times” arrive alongside fan favourites “Big Modern” and “Torero,” capturing Goose’s adventurous spirit while delivering some of their most bold and dynamic studio recordings yet.
